Give Kind Words to Your Fellow Users!

[jackleapp81 456]

Hey guys! I wanted to bring to your attention that there is a member of this website that is going through a very tough time in his life. His name is @Kyoshi, and I'm sure some of you may know him already from the art he contributes to this website. Things such as various banners he's designed for other MLP Forums users and even front page headings for the site, including the one that is featured right now, at the top of your computer screen.

 

I will not divulge any details of the struggles and hardships he is going through, but just know that he is feeling down. What I wanted you guys to do, is send him some encouraging words of friendship. Let him know that there are people out there who care about what he does, and who he is.

 

You don't need to tell him that I sent you, because ultimately, that is irrelevant. What matters most is that you communicate to him that he is welcomed and appreciated, for everything he does. Compliment him. Be kind. Introduce yourself if you don't know him that well. Make his day! He's a nice guy, and he doesn't deserve to be feeling the way that he is feeling right now.

 

Just remember, this doesn't have to be just a one time thing. You can make a difference in many people's lives by sending them spontaneous words of kindness. So go out there, and show your compassion!

I don't really feel comfortable doing this since I'm new but I've went through troubles my self.  I've sent him a quotation of what my mom me to tell me before I left her.

I seriously think this whole thread should be a place for words of kindness to everyone who needs it. I'd be more than willing to share mine with Kyoshi, but I feel that everyone else has just as much of a right to something like this.

You are absolutely right! I will make a thread like this right away.  Everyone deserves an equal chance at happiness and compassion.

I've tried really hard to help him in the past, and, depending on how I'm feeling, I occasionally talk to him and try to be supportive recently as well. Unfortunately, me being who I am, trying to help anyone through depression is like the dead leading the blind for me.

I think it's great that you do try, though. It's very difficult to help someone over the internet with emotional problems because it's not quite as strong of a connection when compared to real life relationships and friendships. But at least it's something. People have to learn to help themselves out a bit too, as well. That's what I've found when I have bouts of depression.

This forum seems like such a caring place, I'm glad to be here. Obviously I don't know him, but I left a few words about his art and how talented he is. Hope that helps.
